Digitalization done right.
Sesamy is a subscription and monetisation platform designed for media publishing and podcasting enabling subscriptions, single purchase and flexible revenue streams. We unify digital paywalls, print fulfilment, B2B solutions, and podcasts into one seamless ecosystem.
Capability 01 · Paywalls
Paywalls your team controls. Without filing dev tickets.
Build, launch, and adjust paywalls without developer involvement. Soft walls, hard walls, metered access, dynamic login: configure them yourself in the portal and deploy in minutes, not weeks. Publishers running on Sesamy see a +18% average checkout conversion improvement.
- Soft, hard, metered, and dynamic walls. Pick the wall type per section, per campaign, per user segment. Run an A/B between metered and hard for new readers without a release.
- Configure in the portal, deploy in minutes. Adjust thresholds, copy, and offer logic from the Sesamy portal. WordPress and Labrador CMS plugins push changes live without a deploy.
- Built-in dynamic login. Identity, sessions, and entitlement checks handled out of the box. No glue code between your CMS and the paywall.

Capability 02 · Checkout
The checkout where most publishers stop leaking revenue.
An optimised checkout flow with the payment methods your readers expect: Vipps, Swish, Klarna, card, invoice. Every step designed to reduce friction and increase completion. No redirect chains. No surprise form fields. Publishers see a +18% average checkout conversion improvement after switching.
- Local payment methods built in. Vipps, Swish, Klarna, card, and invoice. The methods your readers already use, no third-party redirect chain.
- Optimised for conversion, not for legacy. No unnecessary form fields, no detours through a hosted gateway. Designed to keep the reader inside the publisher’s brand the whole way.
- PCI-compliant by default. Encryption, tokenisation, and PCI DSS scope all handled by Sesamy. Your team never touches a card number.

Common questions
What digital publishers ask before switching.
What paywall types does Sesamy support?
- Sesamy supports soft paywalls, hard paywalls, metered access, and dynamic login walls. All four are configurable from the Sesamy portal without developer involvement, and you can run different wall types per section, per audience segment, or per campaign without a code release.
Can we run subscription campaigns without developers?
- Yes. The Sesamy portal lets your team launch trial offers, discounts, bundles, and seasonal campaigns in minutes. Set the rules, set the dates, go live. Sync audiences out to HubSpot, Mailchimp, Rule, or Mailmojo for follow-up. No Jira ticket, no waiting on the next sprint.
Does Sesamy support podcast subscriptions?
- Yes. Sesamy supports premium podcast content as part of digital subscriptions or as standalone purchases. Private RSS feeds and Spotify Open Access integration let your readers listen where they already are. Publishers running podcasts as a subscriber benefit see a 21% paid-podcast conversion rate.
How does Sesamy compare to paywall-only tools?
- Most paywall-only tools solve one slice of the journey: analytics, personalisation, or wall optimisation. All of them still need a subscription system underneath to handle billing, renewals, and the subscriber portal. Sesamy is the full platform: paywall, checkout, subscriber management, and analytics in one system.
What payment methods does Sesamy support for digital subscribers?
- Vipps, Swish, Klarna, card, and invoice. The methods Nordic readers expect, built into the checkout natively. No third-party redirect chain. Refunds are supported for cards and Vipps. PCI DSS scope is handled by Sesamy so your team never touches a card number.
How quickly can a digital publisher migrate to Sesamy?
- Typical timeline is 2-4 weeks from signed contract to first paying subscriber on Sesamy. We have completed 80+ publisher migrations from legacy subscription and print systems with zero downtime and payment continuity. Read the full process, including source-system specifics, on our migration page.
